She has spent most of her time n Alaska since 1972 living off the road system. From working a set net in Bristol Bay, to leading horsepack trips in the mountains of the Alaska Range to the Brooks Range, to personally exploring the wilderness, she knows Alaska and her illustrations and writings reflect that.

The cards are printed in Alaska on matte paper that meets the Sustainable Forest Initiative guidelines that promote responsible management of the world’s forest.
